Last year, we learned that the owners of the Cheesecake Factory next door would be opening North Italia at Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek, and they have now opened. Check out the Walnut Creek menu here. Has anyone checked it out yet? Does it live up to the hype? I walked by last weekend and the place was buzzing.

We’ve been waiting since February for Nick the Greek to open at Plaza Escuela in downtown Walnut Creek, and they have now opened. You can see the falafel bowl in the photo below I had a few days ago. Very tasty, I’ll be back for sure.

After a six year absence, Barnes & Noble has triumphantly returned to downtown Walnut Creek with a soft opening over the weekend at Plaza Escuela. Although the the square footage is slightly bigger than the Concord location, it feels cozier thanks to the shorter ceilings. Although there is no café, there is a children’s section, a toys and games section, and quite a big manga section among the more usual genres. This is a welcome downtown addition especially since Amazon Books closed down the block. The official opening is this Wednesday, September 7th. Thanks to a reader for pointing out their only event listing here.
